The Richmond Dispatch of the 18th inst,
says:-
Ion the 18th of May, 1886, ]. W. Black
burn, man If twenty-five years of age,
was received at the penitentiary from Rock
ingham county. His crime was grand
larceny, and his time would have expired
March 26, 1887. November Is, 1886, he
was sent with a number of other convicts
to work on the South Atlantic and Ohio
railroad. in Southwestern Virginia. On
January 26, 1887, he made his escape, and
yesterday he presented himself at the
penitentiary, asked for bis old hat, and re-
Quested to be put to work in the gang of
convicts who are employed in filling up the
ravine in trout of the prison.
He had walked the entire distance from
Scott county to Richmond-soms $50 miles
He averaged about twenty miles per day.
He had somehow managed to secure a suit
of citizens clothing, aud SO he met with nc
stoppages from the officers of the law and
passed for a beggar tramp. He arrived
here in pretty good condition considering
his tremendous feat of pedestrianism.
Blackburn says he is willing enough to
serve out his time in the penitentiary. but
wants no more service on the railroad
The law requires an addition to be made
to his term for escaping, bat no doubt he
will be dealt with as leniently as possible III
view of his voluntary return to the peniten-
tiary."

The several trade-boards of London held
Joint convention on the Sth instant. The
Chairman made congratulatory address
upon the evidences of general revival oil
business and the increasing volume with
India, Canada, the United States, and the
south of Africa. He deprecated the effects
to follow the immense purchases Of food
supplies which Great Britain makes abroad,
contending that the country was entirely
able to produce them at home.
This speech might be considered en-
couraging to the farmers of the United
Kingdom and stimulate them to increased
efforts for production generally, but the
British capital invested in India to make it
a large exporting country and in
bringing in competitive supply with the
fifty million bushels or more which tue
producers in the United Kingdom have an
nually for sale to their own people, ope-
rates in contrary direction. The grain
growers of England and Scotland have
complained because the effect has been to
greatly lower prices and consequently dis
couraging to home agriculture, leaving
them no incentive to make enlarged efforts
in that branch of husbandry for which they
have hereditary fondness.

ton in export charges. The only mode
that he could suggest for disposing of the
surplus was to get up big war between
some of the foreign powers, or get up q

to the far Northwest, and said that there
he found, as here. the grain producing
